Ever notice how close to being a soap opera the Marvel/DDP comics are?
Kamakura, Snake-Eyes apprentice, is the step-son of Wade Collins who was Fred 2 (a Cobra agent) but also a friend of Snake-Eyes and Stalker and Storm Shadow. Fred 1, was killed trying to kill Snake-Eyes. Billy, Cobra Commander's son, once tried to assassinate his father under orders from the Baroness and Major Bludd. He then became the apprentice of Storm Shadow but was also brainwashed to work for Cobra and then broke free of the brainwashing, but was later killed by his father. Ripcord dated Candy Appel, who's father was a Cobra Agent responsible for the creation of Cobra Island. Ghost Bear is the son of Kwinn, who worked for Cobra but was also a friend of Snake-Eyes and killed by another Cobra agent, Dr. Venom. Cobra Commander's brother was killed in a car accident that also resulted in the death's of Snake-Eyes twin sister and parents. Because of this, he was disillusioned with America and found Snake-Eyes and tried to use Snake-Eyes to start his army. Snake-Eyes rebelled and Cobra Commander hired Firefly and Zartan to kill Snake-Eyes. Because of his "rebellion", his wife divorced him and took away his son, who would later return to try to kill him. Snake-Eyes' twin sister and parents were killed in a car accident by the brother of the man who tried to convince him to become a terrorist. Snake-Eyes then later and joined his blood brother Tommy as a ninja, but Tommy grew jealous of him and would later join Cobra. During the ninja training, Zartan and Firefly tried to kill him. Storm Shadow was once a friend of Stalker and Snake-Eyes. He grew jealous of Snake-Eyes and eventually joined Cobra to find out who killed his uncle, the Hard Master. He was brain washed over and over again, joining and unjoining Cobra. He would eventually train Cobra Commander's son as a ninja. Storm Shadow's lover and apprentice was brainwashed and comitted suicide. She was brainwashed by Storm Shadow's old ninja clan, the Red Ninjas. Firefly was hired to kill Snake-Eyes. He was also responsible for killing SNake-Eyes first apprentice, Ophelia, and the combat team that Kamakura once belonged to. He was also responsible for killing the Hard Master, Storm Shadow's uncle. Baroness had a child that was taken and put in foster care. The child was later taken by Cobra Commander and used as blackmail. Destro gave up his eldest child, Alexander, for his youngest. Zartan was hired to kill Snake-Eyes. Scarlett has been dumped at the altar by Snake-Eyes a couple of times. I'm sure there are other "soap opera" elements to the Joeverse. I'm not saying anythign negative, just thought it was pretty funny.

Forgot:
General Rey, once leader of the Joe team, is a brainwashed clone of Serpentor, once leader of Cobra. Hawk was shot and paralyzed by Cobra Commander.

More Drama: The Red Ninjas also originally split off from the Arashikage after they attempted to remove Snake-eyes from the clan, feeling that he did not belong and was destroying the old ways. Snake-eyes later became their leader after defeating Sei Tin, their boss, who switched bodies with T'Bang of the GI Joe Ninja Force and re-animated Snake-eyes Body, who broke free of their control when he was unable to kill Storm Shadow.

Destro, leaves Cobra without telling the Baroness about his plans in advance, she takes this as a sign she is not trusted, and she stays behind and gains the trust of Cobra Commander. Cobra Commander asks if they should launch a rescue mission to free Destro when he is captured by the Joes and she said no. Destro blackmails the entire UN and arranges to have exchange Cobra Commander for himself; Cobra Commander launches a retreival mission to get Destro... but it shot in the back by the Baroness, and Destro is set free. Meanwhile, Dr. Mindbender (who was previously killed then brought back to life by Cobra Commander, only to betray him to the revived Serpentor), sets out to make a deal with Zartan, telling him about a secret weapon he has hidden. Zartan turns out to be Cobra Commander all a long, and the captured Cobra Commander, Zartan. They get Mindbender to activate the weapon then shoot him, and before he dies Mindbender betrays Cobra Commander again to the Joes allowing them to destroy the weapon.

WOW... my head is spinning... I remember a lot of that.. but a lot I had forgotten.
Oh.. and don't forget, although I think this was only in the cartoon. Lady Jaye and Destro are distantly related. LOL

Also add in, Duke has a hippie father who isn't happy his son joined the military.
Zandar, tired of being unnoticed and unloved by his family, betrays them to Serpentor. The Baroness becomes a terrorist because her peace-making brother is killed in 'Nam and she mistakenly believes that it was Snake-Eyes that did it. She finds out later, from Destro who was there as a teen (wait, that would make Snake-Eyes/Stalker/Storm Shadow older then Destro/Baroness) that it was the Viet Cong that killed her brother. She renounces her terrorist ways only to get brainwashed by Cobra Commander. She regains control of her mind, but later willingly rejoins Cobra.

I am most interested in the information you listed above that I didn't know: Ghost Bear is Kwinn's son. WOW. I always thought Ghost Bear was a great name - way too cool for a Cobra. That's a story line that was never brought out or dealt with, but it should have been. Kwinn was a real deal... total tough guy. He had Snake-Eyes full respect, and that's saying something. You can't help but think that Kwinn's son would be pretty tough, too. I mean, if Duke came from Hippie stock, imagine what this kid is capable of. They could have used that angle... may be Snake-Eyes could have turned Ghost Bear. I guess we'll never know now that IDW has restarted the continuity... personally, I would love it if Kwinn comes back. He was always one of my favorites. That issue when he first shows up and they're in the snow... Totally awesome.
